The New Funky FE-1 Is Set To Be South Africa's Cheapest Electric Car
19 Oct 2022 | Abstracted from Herald Live
Imported from China, the "450kg five-door vehicle seats four people...powered by 4kW electric motor and a 100Ah lead-acid battery, with a range of up to 100km. Its top speed is 60km/h.
"...battery can be charged in eight to 10 hours with a three-pin plug and has a two-year lifespan."
...the under R200,000 ($10,390US) price point is a result of the Funky FE-1 not being subjected to import duties because of the vehicle's size and weight."
